Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks ! There is a need here in the twin cities ( mn) for a cloth diaper, organic, non vax friendly daycare.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 How old will the children be in your daycare? I'd be nervous about vaxes babies/SIDS.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 There is a site called " Meet Up " they are all over the country in many communities (do a search for your area) and you may very well find non-vaxing parents who need your services. Then your issues will not be issues right from the git go. If for some reason there is not a Meet Up with your criteria, perhaps you can start one and then market your business for No Vax Kids Daycare. I think No Vax Daycare is a GREAT idea and I like it as much as No Peanut Daycare, Fragrance Free Daycare (for kids with Asthma and Fragrance sensitivities) etc. There is a HUGE need for these daycares and I think the market has yet to be tapped into. Just my 2 pennies.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 It probably depends what state you're in. I'm in California, & have had an in-home daycare for 2 years, also taking infants under 6 months & usually keeping them until about 2 years of age. Personally, I've found being completely honest about not vaxing my kids, co-sleeping, nursing, etc. scares many parents away. It's a very touchy business I'm finding, & I've decided, it's really none of their business if I vax or not. The parents I've had are extremely uneducated on the subject, & when it does come up, they are dumbfounded there's even an option. One parent did decide, after some research, to stop vaxing her son....so, 1 down how many to go, LOL? I do semi- " quarentine " the babies following certain vaccines, & am amazed at parents when they bring me these babies straight from the docs office after being shot up....WOW?? I'd love to take only unvaxed, nursed, babies, but unfortunately the YMCA frowns upon it (even in CA), which is where most of my business comes from. I even offered myself as a childcare option for parents after our pox parties, since I'd much rather have a kid with pox than one shedding the vaccine, LOL. Also, we're NEVER allowed to share ANY info about any child in our care (regarding vaxing or anything else) with any other parent, we get into a lot of trouble for that. I'm not even allowed to have a roster anywhere that is visible, due to privacy issues. At least that's how it works here in CA. I wish you all the best, & good luck! > > Hi All, > In the near future i am opening a home daycare.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I really don't think that you should have to divulge any information to other parents about the vax status as it would be an invasion of their health privacy. I would not in this day and age accept vaccinated children as the risk are too high that they will have an adverse reaction in your care and that you would be falsely accused of shaken baby syndrome. My cousin is jailed now for this very thing. There is a group on about falsely accused SBS and it is just too risky in my opinion to chance losing your liberty and all that you have to defend yourself for something that you did not do. Something to consider seriously here. It would be great if you could fill your slots with unvaccinated children.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I too, would not take any babies that are not vaxed. Come to think of it, I do remember reading a story about a poor mother who is in jail right now charged with Shaken Baby Syndrome for 4 out of her 5 babies. She claims the vaccines are responsible. I were err on the side of caution if you were only going to take non-vaccinated children though. You don't want to be sued for discrimination. Check with your state's policies on daycare or even check with a lawyer. Worst case scenario, team up with anti-vaccine groups and spread the word about your daycare services that way. > > > > How old will the children be in your daycare?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well, I'm not a lawyer, but when I was in Real Estate School we had a whole unit devoted to discrimination, because it can mean keeping or losing your license. What I was taught is that it is unlawful to discriminate against the " protected classes " which are: race, ethnicity, religion or sect, color, national origin, age, sex, familial status, veteran status, disability or political affiliation. BUT, it is legal to discriminate for other reasons... for instance, one of the property managers that I dealt with would always look in the back seat of potential renter's cars. If the back seat was unorganized and dirty, he wouldn't rent to them because he felt they were less likely to upkeep the rental properly. An african-american family actually filed a complaint against him for racial discrimination, but the landlord was not charged after thorough investigation, because that family, indeed, did not have a clean back seat. Dirty back seats are not a " protected class " . I'd say neither are vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children.... but I'd consult an attorney in your area for more feedback on the subject. Good luck with your daycare venture... I'd use you if you were in my area!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 You know, you could incorporate the non-vax thing right into your advertising... Make a brochure that you hand out to any potential customer. On the cover, plainly state that you are a home daycare that caters to the non-vaccinated. This way you give the vaxers an opt-out... there are so many parents that are afraid of their children being around the unvaccinated... that would probably weed out a lot of vaxers without having to actually tell them you won't accept them into your care.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 -OOOHHHH where are you in California? I am in Cali too and I have not come across any daycares with the actual provider(that I know of) who shares the same kind of parenting and values as I do. My daughter is currently in a daycare that we do love, but she does feed them " less than optimal " kinds of food. Processed can soups, noodles and stuff like that. I tried bringing her lunch a couple times but I think the lady gets bothered as she tries to feed the kids all the same thing I guess to be fair! I am just happy she feeds her.....

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Susie, I agree, the option of an " unvaxed " -friendly daycare service would be great. I can't answer to whether you would need to divulge the non-vax status of children. My guess would be " no " based on HIPAA privacy issues. In fact, if I were in your position I would refuse to share citing liability reasons. Any information not publicly published or casually observable can be considered protected health information. Whether or not daycares fall under HIPAA (Federal Privacy) guidelines I'm not sure, but let whoever wants to know prove otherwise and blame the federal guidelines for your reluctance to share. The buzz phrase is " protected health information " . I can attest to the issue of having an unvaxed child in a daycare facility. Granted our unvaxed son (zero vaccinations since birth) was not a fulltime enrollee only about 3 half days per week since the age of 4 (that's 4 years now) and has done just fine. He actually picks up very few " bugs " that afflict many of the children at daycare. He's now 7 1/2 years old and has had only 3-4 prescriptions for antibiotics for non-responsive Upper Respiratory Tract infections. I, being a chiropractor however, adjust him regularly and work on immune points with acupuncture along with utilizing nutitionals, herbals and homeopathic formulas, that may give him a slight edge over the other children. I have never been concerned about viral sloughing. As for keeping the unvaxed children healthy, dietary factors are probably one of the best things you can do as a provider. Other things such as specific supplements may be able to be done with signed authorizations from parents. Another thing you may consider is arranging and sponsoring wellness workshops for your unvaxed families. I'm sure if you approached local community members with knowledge in different aspects of health/wellness/nutrition/stress mgmt they would be happy to do a brief workshop for your group. I do a number of these through the year for various groups in my area. (Many of us will do them at no charge to you) This would help parents know what they can do and wouldn't want to do at home to help keep their unvaxed child's immune system healthy. Help them be more healthy. Also great PR for your daycare service. You may also want to consider " green " cleaners. You may be limited on what you can and can't use for disinfecting but try to avoid toxic cleaners disinfectants and pesticides. all of which can have a negative affect on the immune response over time(even chlorine bleach). I'm getting down off my soap box now. :-) Just my thoughts. Russ > > Hi All, > In the near future i am opening a home daycare.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wow, I'd better watch what people are looking into the back seat (and passenger seat) of my commuter car. I'd probably never get an apartment. :-) As far as I know, in MD (I did a small amount of research when I was considering opening a home daycare instead of going back to work), unless you are funded by a governmental agency or receive some kind of aid to run your daycare, you can accept/deny anybody you want.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 This kind of situation is a huge problem in my book. How often do we look after children, without being told of vaccination status? Imagine if a friend asked you to take care of thier child for a couple of hours, while they go shopping, and don't tell you they just took them for shots. The baby then dies. I did have friends once who had a baby die in their care. They will have a dark cloud of suspicion over them for ever, even though they did nothing wrong. Luckily for them the cause of death didn't point to SBS, but SIDS instead. I don't know if there was any vaccination link, due to the fact I knew these people before I did any research. Personally, I feel if a private day care can demand children be vaxed for entry, then it is only fair that one could also demand they be non vaxed for entry. I know things are not so logical in the real world unfortunately. Sometimes I wonder if there is any logic at all. Fieldman Re: Vaccines/ " shedding " /daycare I really don't think that you should have to divulge any information to other parents about the vax status as it would be an invasion of their health privacy. I would not in this day and age accept vaccinated children as the risk are too high that they will have an adverse reaction in your care and that you would be falsely accused of shaken baby syndrome. My cousin is jailed now for this very thing. There is a group on about falsely accused SBS and it is just too risky in my opinion to chance losing your liberty and all that you have to defend yourself for something that you did not do. Something to consider seriously here. It would be great if you could fill your slots with unvaccinated children.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 This is where the legal system sucks. Demanding that children be non vaxed is no more discriminating than demanding they be vaxed. And just because there are more people who vax than those who don't, the law can certainly call us the bad guys. Money talks in the end. If you have it to pay for the best legal help, then the law will be on your side. If not, then just take what it dishes out. I have first hand knowledge of this, as my brother is charged with culpable driving causing death. The accident was the dead mans fault, with no doubt. But it will cost our family, a minimum of $100,000 to keep my brother out of jail. If a mistrial is called, then another $100,000. We can take a chance, and just hope he gets off. But there are no guarantees, even though he is not guilty. Not only that. We are trying to get custody of my partners 2 kids. If the fact we don't vax was ever mentioned, then I am sure it would go against us in a bigger way, than anything else could. Especially when the mother is a hypochondriac, who sends the kids to the doc for absolutely everything, including growing pains. They get more antibiotics in one year, than both my children put together in their lifetime. (This equates to one course for my oldest, btw). I had an aversion to antibiotics way before the vax issue came up. Fieldman Re: Vaccines/ " shedding " /daycare I were err on the side of caution if you were only going to take non-vaccinated children though. You don't want to be sued for discrimination. Check with your state's policies on daycare or even check with a lawyer. Worst case scenario, team up with anti-vaccine groups and spread the word about your daycare services that way.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 And then, when parents are enquiring about enrolment, she could mention that they will have to keep kids at home after vaccination for a certain length of time. The ones who vax will just go somewhere else anyway, without any need for demanding non vax. They won't like being told that. Even though it is really no different to us being told to keep kids home during and outbreak of anything. Fieldman Re: Vaccines/ " shedding " /daycare But how about if she advertises as " holistic type day care setting " than she can bring in those types of parents. More than likely that brings parents of non-vaxxed kids and babies. It can be illegal to advertise what kind of daycare your setting is Recent Activity a.. 24New Members Visit Your Group Meditation and Lovingkindness A Group to share and learn.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Excellent point, Winnie! If *they* can discriminate against our children and deny them care, then *we* should be able to use the same discrimination to deny vax'd children into our care. And Aileen... you and me both! If they saw how many " Cheddar Bunnies " and " Barbara's O's " are on the back floorboard of my car, I'd be in BIG trouble trying to rent a place!
